2002 Yamaha V Star Classic Cruiser reviews

The best bike for the price on the market. Great looks, accessories are available everywhere. I change my own oil, it's cheap and easy to do. I ride it almost every day (when it isn't raining). I commute to my weekend job 45 miles one way. It's a gallon there and a gallon of gas back. Yes, 45 miles per gallon. I do wish it had a bit more top end power, so my next bike will be the 1100. However it will cruise at 80 mph with no problem and that is the most I need to be doing. I hate to do too much to the bike because it looks so good as it is. Show less

After 8,000 miles, I cannot begin to tell you of the goodness of this machine! Other than running out of gas once in Michigan's UP, and left with no reserve, I would rate this bike as a ten! It is a great buy (price wise), and no one guesses it has only 650 cc. The quality is top of the line... the best! Handling, fuel economy, ride, seat comfort, and reliability are all one could ask for! My next machine? It will be another V-Star Classic! Show less
